polling issues with 5897
by Rutger Bevaart 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi, Updated to the latest svn version yesterday, after which I immediately had issues with the poller. Updated from a release about two weeks older. Now I get up/down for different devices, sometimes complete BGP neighbours down on others. Device down alerts on snmp, etc. I increased the number of poller processes in the crontab and increased snap timeout values etc. However, I still have graphs with large parts missing because of this. Checked poller times, kept an eye on the processes running and logs. Some devices take 120s to poll completely, but all polling is done in about 2 minutes. Still I get these errors, other than the upgrade no changes have been made to firewalls, policies, etc. Any clues? Do I need to upgrade php? Regards, Rutger

Polling takes a similar amount of time on both versions. Will let it run for a night and upgrade a single version tomorrow to see if the issue reappears. Regards, Rutger

memory graph / draw error
by Massimo Sala 21 Oct '14

Hi I just installed Observium on Debian 7.6 : Observium CE 0.14.4.5229 Apache nginx/1.2.1 PHP 5.4.4-14+deb7u14 MySQL 5.5.40-MariaDB-1~wheezy-log SNMP NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3 RRDtool 1.4.7 I have added 80 routers ( Cisco / Juniper / HP ) and most of them display fine. On some devices, the memory graph show "draw error". How can I troubleshoot this ? Best regards, Sala

Hi Dennis, Are you willing to make a contribution to the open source thing irrespective of the code looking better?

Hi Adam, Thanks. Tricky this – I’m trying to sell observium to management, who are playing hardball and trying things like netsight from extreme (any negatives for this!?). Anyway, monitoring exchange and MSSQL are big positives towards my argument. WMIC is used for the connection and querying, so perhaps I’d best look at the php behind it if time permits.

We switched from opmanager to observium in July. Clients love the dashboard and look of observium. I would say observium is one of if not the best. We previously used logicmonitor, nagios, opmanager, cacti and others. The monitoring in observium is limited - to what scripts you can write and integrate with the platform. We use lots of other things - monit, mmonit, bash scripts, smokeping - but for our internal client dashboard - observium has the look, feel and functionality of a champion. Thanks From: Casper A..

I tried the IRC but it seemed to be closed? I was told by the bot that my chat messages wasn't sent to channel.. So now i try here.. I run a IT consultant company and we are maybe planing on using observium. For now we have a test installation of the free version running to much success! Besides the ease of use through SNMP we do look to the customer feature and alert feature you get with the pro edition. How much is built into the alert feature? is it only mail or does it also support text? What is ment by rule based grouping? And maybe the most important one of all. The customer feature? can i use it to separate my different clients so its easier to oversee what devices belong to what client? or is it more for the billing feature? This product looks vary promising! [cid:c75c4e27901f51261e79bbaff4f6c3d7888eb284@zimbra] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
